I know that it's customary to check plates on the car when you're being pulled over (the usual stuff -CPL, stolen car, any warrant), right?







I'm not LEO, but why wouldn't they do the same if their checking your gun? If they've stopped you to talk to you, why would that be part of their SOP?



Just asking!

The issue of covering the serial numbers is more of an issue in California (see the OC California section for reasons why)

In MI, the PD has to have a "reasonable and articulable" suspicion to stop an OCer (and an automobile driver). OCers in CA, though, can be stopped just for OCing... see the CA section of OpenCarry.org for a detailed explanation.
